During the period from January 6, 2016 to February 1, 2016 market exchange rates and official exchange rates, set by the National Bank, varied in calculation methodologies. The market exchange rate was calculated as an average exchange rate of tenge against US dollar on the morning (main) trading session at the stock exchange (at 11:00 Almaty time), and recalculation against other currencies was conducted at 15:00. The official exchange rate was calculated as an average of both trading sessions (morning and afternoon at 15:30 Almaty time), recalculation against other currencies was conducted at 16:00.
